high-risk

I am 8 week and my Dr has already put me as high-risk (i have a 8 year old son and had a lot of problems while pregnant with him) my Dr has given me a whole lot of pills I need to take it works out to 10 pills a day last week I had a bleed I know it's normal but I'm rh-neg so I had to go to the hospital and get a needle so my anti-bodies don't attack the baby, with being high-risk I can't work I'm not even allowed to hang washing on the line my partner is very supportive but I'm bored and am going insain already how am I going to cope with the next 7 months doing nothing :-(

I have so much time on my hands with not working and he is working so I have a lot of alone time. I do have family around but my sister works full time with shift work and my mother is raising children herself I know they are there for me to support me but there is so much time in the day I'm not stressed out by that im just feeling bored and sick and just plain yuky

My pregnancy was v different than urs. I had a lot on my plate n as a result got stressed out n developed n eye condition only a month away to having my baby. Im not able to see things properlt n everything seems v dark. Now n imp lesson to learn frm this is whether u r on bed rest or have a lot to do, do not stress or worry. It can never bring any gud. Wat u r doing is not easy n u r lucky to have a husband who understands tht. :) b happy u'll find something to keep u busy

Yeah I know the feeling. I'm 6 weeks and a stay at home mom and I go nuts cuz I don't go anywhere or do anything and know the feeling of bed rest. I wish u the best and hope u find something to occupy ur time but don't feel guilty cuz it can stress u out. Do u have friends or FAM to come visit?

I know how you feel. I have 4 kids already & have been on bed rest for weeks. I spend a lot of time on line. That's about it. Lol

I am so happy with my bundle of joy coming along and I am so blessed that my man is so supportive I'm just bored already and I have another 7 months to go I also don't want him to be working his *** off at work he has 2 jobs and then to come home and have to do everything at home too I feel guilty that I can't do anything because he does so much and it makes me feel worse that he doesn't mind

Just look at the positives. U have a bundle of joy on the way and do everything u can to keep your baby and yourself safe. At least u can get on here n read n post n kinda keep yourself busy. I know how bed rest is. I got put on bed rest with my last child for 8 weeks and I went insane. But the good thing is that u have a positive partner. Good luck
